So I wrote at Midterms 2018 why Biden & Bernie would be bad choices--one-term presidents always harm their party. But white male ego + misogyny and here we are. Bernie decided to endorse the nominee this time, unlike in 2016. Better for his legacy and best for Biden.

In 2016 and 2020 Bernie attracted surrogates who have harmed his campaign and his message. They are doing damage to it now. His former press sect is making headlines. Why can't she just step out of the way as Bernie works Biden for commitments to issues essential to millions?

MILLIONS of us are disappointed in the outcome of what began as the most diverse slate of candidates in history. But we have committed to voting FOR the Democrats and AGAINST Trump. It shouldn't be hard to choose the #SCOTUS; the Constitution; women; POC; #LGBTQ; healthcare.

We have a job to do, now. And it will be harder than it was in 2016 when all folks had to do was show up and vote Democratic. Now we have to bring it home hard. We need a clear margin, no counting ballots. So there is no room for our resentment or our personal rage.

There is only room to get out the vote. There is only room to think about the harm Trump has done. There is only room to imagine the dire consequences of two more Trump justices on the #SCOTUS. There is only room to think about the deaths under Trump.

The most centrist Democrat--and Biden is as centrist as they come--is still left of the most liberal GOP. But Trump is actually a far right extremist. You don't have to like or love Biden. You just have to know Trump harms America/Americans every day. He MUST be stopped.
